Comeback

No excuse other than laziness for over 2 months of ignoring my blog. And I went through maximum stress and maximum happiness over the 2 months. So I am back in Delhi after 1 month of idling at Trivandrum.
The final semester is more enjoyable than I ever thought. Though, somewhere inside I am saddened by the thought that I will have to leave this place and campus in another 3 months. 2 years just ran past. And when I think of it, my blog is also over 2 years old. And I have been sharing all happenings the past two years here.
Life is full of surprises. Just when we think that we have all sorted out what we want, God just takes you and throws you into something so different that your entire life is changed 180 degree. Yea, after my placements something like that happened to me too. And with just one turn of incident, everything in front of you changes so quickly, your whole perspective about life changes!
I have never discussed about my belief and knowledge in astrology. I have never done that because I know that anyone reading these posts, anyone living in 'this gen' will never believe in all these things. You will brush it off as 'stupid superstitions'. I am living in this generation. I am living in a metro. I am studying in one of the most reputed institutes in the country. But I am superstitious. I do not know whether it is good or bad, it helps me and I am happy with it. I do not try remotely impose it on any one.
Last day back home when I was talking about something superstitious like this, my aunt (who is over 50 years old) was quizical. She was explaining to me how people go to the moon and come back (as if I didn't know that) this age and here is one person who believes that leaving home on Friday is bad or seeing a particular bird in the morning will bring good luck and even more ridiculous things which I better not write here. But with all this, I believe from my experience, that the harder you work, the luckier you seem to be!
The same goes with astrology. I have not seen one person in my generation who believes in that, unless when it comes to marriage and horoscope matching. I know a bit of it myself about horoscopes. I feel people who oppose it can not accept that our forefathers were knowledgable 1000 years back and has actually created one division of science like this. Those who criticise it are people who know nothing about it, so I just turned a deaf ear towards them.
I have seen people, who used to never believe in astrology changing completely with just one incident in their life. I do not believe in every astrologer, I believe in astrology which is a science.
So now you will be thinking that here is a person who is so out of this generation. I don't care. I am what I am and I am not going to change to please anyone.
